Summer Stream 1 5x7 studio Felt like I needed to slap some paint on something, you know, when you get an urge to paint after some frustrating attempts. So I started with this little thing just to warm up.

Summer Stream 2 10x10 studio The first one felt good so I tried to do it again with the same composition but different format.

Iris Garden 11x14 studio There was so much red I thought I would try to balance my color sense with some complimentary colors.

South Valley Park Summer 11x14 oil plein air The start of summer found me doing the happy dance. Warm weather with very little wind and a beautiful spot to paint. Just love it when the day is great.

Colorado Railroad Museum 11x14 oil
The started out with sunshine and expected heat. Upon arriving at the CO RR Museum the clouds came out and flattened everything. I managed to get the gist of the painting but didn't feel good about its finish. The final details were added in the studio.
